SYMPTOMS
In versions 4.0 and 4.01 of Microsoft CodeView, requesting a Quick Watch on a variable that includes one or more underscore characters in its name fails with one of the following error messages:
This happens with either the SHIFT+F9 key combination or by selecting Quick Watch from the Data menu. This problem also occurs with other keystrokes that require CodeView to parse a string (containing underscore characters) at the current cursor location, such as F1 and Ctrl-W (Add Watch).
RESOLUTION
To avoid this behavior, select the entire variable name before requesting a Quick Watch. Another technique is to request a Quick Watch with the "?? <variable name>" command in the Command window.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0, 4.01, and 4.02. This problem was corrected in CodeView version 4.05.
